The Authentic Diecast Replica Process
A short while ago, the folks over at GreenLight Collectibles put the finishing touches on a section of their web site that gives a behind-the-scenes look at how authentic die-cast replicas are manufactured. The entire process is broken down into various sections which include:
-
- The Concept
- Production of Steel Mold and First Shot
- Production of the Die-Cast Replicas
- Shipping
Over the last few years we’ve seen numerous posts on various forums for a manufacturer (Hot Wheels?!?) to show this side of the hobby/business, and its great to see GreenLight step up to the plate and provide this excellent insight.

Luis,
Thanks for commenting! I think the closest thing you will find will be the Grand Marquis from MotorMax which you can see here:

There are also many Grand Marquis police car diecast models that could be customized to match your exact personal car.
Hope that helps!
